Mr.. Marsalis has issued circulars

that he has Il large amount of goods
in transit, and will be able to fill all
orders he may receive.
lie will occupy the store room
next to Crowdus' wholesale drug
store on Main street
The smoke still rises in great vol
umes from the rains.
The engine continued TO throw
water until noon to-day.
Marsais is made of the kind of
stuff that knows no such word as
fail.
There are all kinds Of wild rumors
on the street concerning the origin of
the fire. The night watchman at the
Santa Fe depot says that he saw
good sized, well-dressed man pass
down the east side Of Mr.. Marsalis'
building and turn the corner mt the
rear end of said building, and subse-
quently saw the same man or another
man similarly dressed, run from that
direction, going up Commerce street.
He said the reason he did not call to
him to halt was that ne thought he
would insult him, as he had the ap-
peararce of gentleman; in a short
time afterward he discovered the fire.

BALLOT FOR SENATOR.
Gains for Gov. Ireland.

The vote for United States Sen
ator, at Austin, to-day, is as fol-
lows:
First ballot-Maxey 45, q less
than yesterday, Reagan 36, q
more than yesterday, Ireland 20,
@ more than yesterday, Terrell
%, q less than yesterday
Second ballot-Maxey lost 2,
and Terrell 5; Ireland gains 4 and
Reagan 3.
Terrell withdrawn.
Third ballot-Marey As, Reagan
49; Ireland 3S, and Shepherd 1.
Fourth ballot-Ma1ey A, Eea-
gan 81, Ireland 39.
From the first ballot yesterday,
Maxey has lost 8 votes, Ireland
gained 13 and Reagan H.
This is more gratifying to Ire
lands friends than expected On
the first ballot after Terrell's witt
drawal. 1t was generally conceded
that Terrell s vote would about all
go to Reagan; while it is equally
reasonable to suppose, from the
character of the canvass made by
each, that when Maxey's strength
is exhausted his friends will favor
Ireland as second choice. Ireland
is the coming man.

A Child Badly Burned.

ELKToN, Nd, April l0.-Wilhelmina The
resa, the seven-year-ofd daughter of Samuel
Jewell, who resides on Stockton street, Elk
ton, was terribly burned shortly before eleven

brush on a lot adjoining the old tannery,

fame. She started to run towards home,
and had gone about hundred yards when
she turned aad ran back half that distance.

Rambo, plasterer, who was at work in the
neighborhood, and by Capt. VIM. G. Purnell,
and they tore off part of the burning cloth
ing and smothered the flames Rambo, who
reached her first, had both hands badly
burned. Capt. Purnell's hands were also
slightly burned The child was removed to
her home. and DR.. ]. W. Cooper, Jr., rem
dered medical assistance. Her condition is
serious, but there are hopes of recovery.

The Peach Proansot.

At present the prospect is good for the
largest crop of peaches ever grown on this
peninsula. The outlook in Kent was never
better There is some complaint of an un-
usual quantity of dead trees, and dead sUood
in living trees, especially in the older or.
chards-supposed to be the results of the re-
markable season and full crop of last year.
But the additions number of trees coming
into bear ing will fully make up for all loss
from these causes. The bright prospect may
yet be bl asted, of course, by late cold and
frostss but this result is unlikely because OF
the late spring keeping the buds back. So
that the consuming power of the country is
likely to be fully tested this year. The
sooner there is made known the value of a
full crop the better it will be for the whole
community Kent News.

Time and Grief.


Time touches the wan brow of grief,
And meath his touch her tears are dried !;
Again she takes some feeble pride
In things around, and days grow brief.
She watches the roses bloom,
If it be summers blooming time,
And If the year is in its prime
Again she hears the brown bee boom.
The floating clouds above her head,
Pillows of ease where fays recline,
Again she watches, and sign
1t is of sorrows having fed.
When one can breath the common air,
And note the common things of life
With pleasure, then the weary strife
Is almost done of grief and care.
